Dugoni School Year in Review 2018-2019

Academic Year in Review 2018 ­– 2019

MOMENTUM AND MILESTONES Momentum is defined as strength or force gained by motion or by a series of events. The Dugoni School family worked closely together over the last academic year to build on our school’s rich tradition of excellence, creating even more momentum that will drive us into a successful future.

Focusing on that future, we implemented new initiatives as part of our Strategic Plan— “Transforming the Future of Oral Health Education.” To support our students and residents, we made new investments in digital dentistry and technology, further integrated our academic curriculum, created a dedicated Outcomes Assessment team to track and measure effectiveness across our organization, launched our Personalized Instruction Program and built new partnerships within healthcare and education. Those are just a few examples of how we moved forward in pursuit of our five strategic priority areas: ◗ Improving Experiences and Outcomes While Lowering the Costs of Healthcare Education ◗ Prepare Confident, Competent Oral Healthcare Providers for Current and Future Practice Models ◗ Embrace Advances in Medicine and Dentistry to Create a Dynamic and Visionary Curriculum ◗ Retain, Recruit, Support and Develop Diverse Faculty and Staff with Demonstrated Expertise to Improve Clinical Outcomes and Student Education ◗ Expand the Role of the Dugoni School as a Community Partner in Health and Wellness We also celebrated several milestones, such as the fifth anniversary of our new San Francisco campus and the 20th anniversary of our famed White Coat Ceremony. Our students made milestones of their own, such as the launch and growth of our student chapter of the American Association of Women Dentists, which received national recognition as Chapter of the Year.

It is difficult to capture all of the highlights of the 2018-2019 academic year into one publication, but we hope this report gives you just a glimpse into a few highlights of the year. Thanks to all of the members of the Dugoni School family who contribute to our success every day. Together we are fulfilling our purpose of helping people lead healthy lives.

Sincerely,

Nader A. Nadershahi ’94, DDS, MBA, EdD Dean

ADVANCING OUR ACADEMIC PROGRAMS A dynamic teaching and learning culture is essential to the success of our programs. In 2018-2019 we launched new personalized learning opportunities for students, implemented curricular reforms, built new partnerships and moved forward in other ways to support our culture of academic excellence.

We launched a new dental medicine and surgery rotation at Stanford School of Medicine for our DDS students, and continued to grow our relationship through joint research projects and guest faculty lectures.

Students experienced digital dentistry, with all students getting experience in digital scanning, designing and milling. Students completed 300+ restorations using digital dentistry techniques.

Our newly updated International Dental Studies curriculum gave IDS students earlier access to patient care in the clinics, resulting in equal or better production in seven of 12 categories compared to their DDS peers.

Our Personalized Instruction Program (PIP) is now a requirement for all DDS students. A few notable projects by students included the Dugoni Pre-Dental Bootcamp, the Dugoni Peer Support Program, a CAD/CAM instructional video, preventive education and materials for people with visual disabilities and the Philippines dental outreach mission trip.

STUDENTS IN THE LEAD Growth and leadership go hand in hand at the Dugoni School. Our students stepped up to lead new programs, organize new initiatives and become further involved in professional organizations both locally and nationally.

The Dugoni School’s American Association of Women Dentists chapter won national Chapter of the Year Award from the AAWD.

PATIENT-FOCUSED CLINICAL CARE The Dugoni School’s stated purpose is “to help people lead healthy lives.” That purpose comes to life each day in the school’s dental clinics in San Francisco and Union City, and at our extramural clinic locations. The Dugoni School is a trusted dental home to thousands of people from throughout the region.

Approximately 35% of patients at the Dugoni School have Denti-Cal insurance, so the clinics are a healthcare safety net for people who have almost nowhere else to turn for dental care. But the remaining 65% of our patients come from all walks of life, from businesswomen and musicians to retired individuals and military veterans.

“It’s almost like you’re a part of the family here. It’s a wonderful, wonderful place.” —Steve Plante, patient

“The clinic has been a godsend. I’ve had lots of difficulties with my mouth, since I was young, and I’m so thankful for the care I’ve received.” —Terri Irvin, patient

Our Professional Oath Our commitment to patient-centered care is formalized during the professional oath students pledge at the White Coat Ceremony. Did you know that our school was the first dental school in the country to hold a white coat ceremony back in 1998? Other dental schools soon started holding white coat ceremonies as well, and this year we celebrated the 20th anniversary of this milestone in July 2018.

CONNECTING WITH OUR COMMUNITIES Throughout the Bay Area, our students, residents, staff and faculty give their time to a variety of community events, offering screenings and oral health education. We are also involved in other community programs outside of healthcare to build connections with our neighbors. Plus, our impact extends abroad, as students and faculty participate in international mission trips to bring dental care to underserved patients.

Our digital connections with the community continue to grow! Did you know the Dugoni School Twitter account @dugoni_dental has among the most followers of any dental school in the world?

Give Kids a Smile and Give Special Kids a Smile events in San Francisco and Union City reached hundreds of underserved children, including many with special needs.

Students and faculty led international mission trips to care for people in the Philippines, Guatemala and Mexico.

The first-annual “Campus Community Night Out” event held in October brought our SoMa neighbors, resource providers and community leaders to the school.

The Dean’s Speaker Series brought U.S. Congresswoman Jackie Speier and broadcast journalist Jan Yanehiro to the school for an evening of insight and inspiration.
